Withdrawls
Students may withdraw from a course only under special circumstances. Withdrawals may be permitted only with approval of the teacher, school counselor, administration, and parents. Students and/or teachers may have various compelling reasons for requesting student withdrawal from courses. Reasons that may be given consideration are:
- Inappropriate skill level placement
- Significant changes in academic need requiring a course substitution or addition
- Has not met prerequisite
The student’s transcript will reflect the course as a drop with the following grade designation:
- Day 1 through 3- Any course changes may be considered (per the above guidelines) through the first three days of the new trimester. Changes will be made without penalty and students may add a class based on the above criteria.
- Day 4 through 12– Drops with nopenalty (WNP) may be granted when the student submits the necessary paperwork. No additional classes may be added. Students will be added to a study hall. This option is only available if no study hall is already scheduled.
- Day 13 through the end of the trimester- Drops with penalty (WF) may be granted when the student submits the necessary paperwork. No additional classes may be added. Students may be added to a study hall if no study hall is already scheduled.
- All changes must have administrative approval.
Changes due to IEP requirements/changes, or new students coming to our school may be made at any time with administrative approval.
